I'm using magento 2.3. I'm trying to create a website through a custom command. Here's my code

$website = $this->websiteFactory->create();
$website->setName("foo")->setCode("foobar");
$website->save();
var_dump("expression");

This gives an error - Validation Failed. In Save.php line 59.

However, it does create the website.

If I remove $website->save(), "expression" is displayed.

Stack trace:

What am I doing wrong? What is the correct way to create a website programmatically?

Try :
$website = $this->websiteFactory->create();

$website->setCode('foobar');
$website->setName('foo Name');
$website->setDefaultGroupId(1);
$this->websiteResourceModel->save($website);

where $this->websiteResourceModel is MagentoStoreModelResourceModelWebsite

I am having exactly the same issue - I have handled it by catching the exception and ignoring it if the website actually saved (because it does).
